When a man and a woman can share the same piece of clothing, isn't that sustainable?

In a world of new ideas and a refreshed sense of global awareness, we need to come up with innovative ways of being sustainable. When a man and a woman can share the same piece of clothing, isn't that sustainable? Well it generates less consumerism and it expands the product's life cycle. The whole point of sustainability is to be able to reuse, to create less waste, not harm the environment in the process and deplete thoughtless consumption.

Our Group members consists of 6 students from the MFA of Fashion in AAU; Johnathan, Louie, Tessa, Vicky, Sydney and Nimontra. Our concept is unisex clothing based in some sort of a post apocalyptic era, not the cliche oxygen masks and body suits but more of a military undergarment style clothing. It embodies the word nomadic, functional, futuristic, androgynous and protection.


We are also trying to be more environmental friendly by using low impact materials, a lot of organics, employing local artisans for weaving, knitting, Eco-friendly dying and manipulation and recycling every opportunity we get from reusing scraps to reclaiming discarded clothing.


Here are some development pictures that may give you an idea of our direction:
